A little something extra for you, the lovely Backlisted listeners, and a departure from our usual subject matter - a new(ish) book! After recording the upcoming show on Patrick Hamilton's The Slaves Of Solitude with guests authors Lissa Evans and Stuart Evers, John & Andy took the opportunity to ask them what they thought of George Saunders' debut novel (which went on to win the 2017 Man Booker Prize for Fiction). Normal service will be resumed next week.

Books Mentioned:

• George Saunders - Lincoln in the Bardo

• Colson Whitehead - The Underground Railroad

• Tony Morrison - Paradise

• William Faulkner - As I Lay Dying

• James Joyce - Ulysses

• Virginia Woolf - Mrs Dalloway
